So...

Okay. I don't do the daily quests, and never will. I don't value anything they sell, or the gold in the game, so they are pretty much completely pointless for me. Also pretty much quit the first tier of pandaria because it just didn't interest me at all.

So my question basically is, Thunder king actually looks interesting. How would I go about gearing up for that? (Avg Ilevel is 480 right now)

Start looking for a guild already, and run current content with them? Should get you the gear you need, as most stable guilds are atleast clearing normals by now, i'd expect..
And if you're not looking to join a guild, and only run lfr/do pugs, then run lfr/pugs now, and gear that way :3
